Do you hear what I hear?

Insight session by Rebecca Schaefer

Music is the language of emotions! But do we actually hear or feel the same things? Or does it perhaps depend on where your attention lies – what you hear, what moves you?

The atmosphere or emotion of music can be experienced very differently by different people. In ‘Do you hear what I hear?’, we’ll discover just how different that can be through a live experiment! Scientist Rebecca Schaefer offers an insight into how your own listening experience plays a part in this, whilst violinist Merel Vercammen performs some extraordinary music; at the end of the performance, the results of the research will be revealed straight away.​

Each Insight Session comprises two individual presentations by two different speakers. In this session, Rebecca Schaefer and Amandine Lerusse will share their insights on two different topics.
